Explain FOUR eco-friendly tips for hikers on a hiking expedition.
Bury waste (from food) in the ground to rot in the soil. • Put rubbish such as plastic bottles and cans in a strong plastic bag to protect it from falling out in the field. • Hang the plastic bag in a tree or throw it into the trash can in the main camp to protect the animals from harming themselves. • If soap is used for dishes or hand washing, make sure that it does not flow into streams.

Explain the core principles environmental wellness is based on.
The most important principle is respect for nature and for all species living in it. Be aware of the environment around you and ensure that your daily habits do not harm the environment but rather contribute to improve it.
Turn it off and close it. Briefly discuss, by using examples, how the statement in bold will contribute towards environmental wellness
Turn it off • Do not waste electricity because it will lead to a greater demand for electricity, causing more air pollution. There will need to be mined deeper for coal, which is harming the environment closest to the mine, and more lorries will be needed to transport it, causing harm to the environment due to emissions. • Examples: Switch off the lights when no one is in the room; switch off the TV and radio when no one is watching or listening.
Close it • Do not waste water / use water sparingly to sustain the environment so that the existence all life (plants, animals and humans) will be guaranteed. • Examples: Close the tap while brushing teeth; repair dripping taps; shower instead of bathing. • Take care of the existing water resources by not polluting it. • Examples: Do not litter so that waste does not end up in rivers, dams and lakes; do not pour used oil and chemicals down drains.
Justify why receiving junk mail electronically may assist in keeping the environment clean.
Junk mail is distributed daily to passers-by or it is being posted into mailboxes. These usually do not end up in trash cans but rather as litter defacing the environment. The environment is continuously being polluted more and more. By receiving junk mail electronically, pollution is reversed. Less paper is needed, which saves trees that produce valuable oxygen, and less paper being produced means less air pollution.
FIVE ethical values a good employee should follow
Trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, kindness/caring, citizenship
